BACKGROUND The scientific literature poses a perplexing dilemma for pregnant women with respect to the consumption of fish from natural bodies of water. On one hand, fish is a good source of protein, low in fat and a rich source of other nutrients all of which have presumably beneficial effects on developing embryos and fetuses. On the other hand, consumption of fish contaminated with environme...

We review the current state of experimental knowledge on double cc production in e+e− annihilation. The large cross-sections (O(20 fb)) for e+e− → γ∗ → ψ(′) (cc)res processes have been confirmed by detailed tests and reproduced by a second group: they should now be considered well-established. The latest experimental results concern the case where the second cc system is above open-charm thresh...

Use of robust regression algorithms for better prediction body weight (BW) is receiving increased attention. The present study therefore aimed at predicting BW from chest circumference, breed and sex a total 1,012 goats. animals comprised 332 matured West African Dwarf (WAD) (197 bucks 135 does), 374 Red Sokoto (RS) (216 158 does) 306 Sahel (SH) (172 134 randomly selected in Nasarawa State, nor...

It has been shown elsewhere (llhingworth, 1939; 1950; Illingworth, Harvey, and Gin, 1949) that the weight of a child at birth bears an important relationship to his subsequent weight and height. The aim of this study is to determine whether children with different birth weights differ in all the standard body dimensions, namely weight, pelvic and calf girth, chest circumference, nding and sitti...

Stroke-related sarcopenia has recently been defined as the muscle atrophy consequent to stroke and assessing it following guidelines with simple clinical tools is crucial in chronic survivors. The aim of this study was determine characteristics patient-friendly instruments a sample (SG) compared non-stroke counterparts (CG). Each participant underwent single assessment which consisted of: SARC-...

A practical D-bar algorithm for reconstructing conductivity changes from EIT data taken on electrodes in a 2D geometry is described. The algorithm is based on the global uniqueness proof of Nachman (1996 Ann. Math. 143 71-96) for the 2D inverse conductivity problem. Results are shown for reconstructions from data collected on electrodes placed around the circumference of a human chest to recons...

PURPOSE The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) provides circulatory support through counterpulsation. The hemodynamic effects of the IABP may vary with assisting frequency and depend on IAB inflation/deflation timing. We aimed to assess in vivo the IABP benefits on coronary, aortic, and left ventricular hemodynamics at different assistance frequencies and trigger timings. METHODS Six healthy, a...

Objectives. Simplification of Basic Life Support was proposed with the introduction of Chest-Compression only Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CC-CPR) as an alternative to Standard CPR (S-CPR). This study aimed to compare retention of knowledge, in the general public, of both CPR techniques (CC-CPR vs. S-CPR). Design, setting and participants. Multicentric prospective comparative cohort study. A...
